"You go look for iron ore, and I'll look for that ghost." Raven sent out a wave of soul fire, commanding the other dark knights to spread out and search for iron ore.
He wanted to see the old ghost in charge, and he wanted to hear his story.
The Dark Knights dispersed and left in all directions.
Raven drove the nightmare and walked towards the town at the foot of the mountain.
Swish——
A pulse of shadow energy that was somewhat conspicuous in the eyes of the old ghost suddenly stood up from a location outside the town, and then continued to disperse around.
A look of disbelief flashed in the old ghost's eyes, and he couldn't help but cast his stern gaze outside the town.
"What's wrong?" The tired middle-aged ghost asked the old ghost. He looked confused and didn't seem to know what happened.
"No, you take them back, and I'll go out for a walk." The old ghost looked at the ghosts who had not changed much, and looked at their increasingly dull and numb expressions, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seemed that he was the only one who felt that kind of energy fluctuation.
Although there is no such thing as a blessing or a curse in this world, there are also words that are similar to it. In terms of wisdom, human beings are all connected.
The old ghost thought for a while, then wandered along the street, slowly walking out of the town.
Under the cover of night, even if those night watchmen saw it, it was just a blur in front of their eyes, and they never caught any trace of the old ghost.
"I'm very glad you can come, Mr. Mayor." When the destination arrived, the old ghost was obviously shocked, and then seemed a little calm in the ghost state without any emotion.
What kind of monster is that? Black armor, black weapons, and black mounts with black flames lingering on them.
The gap in the helmet with the Y-shaped notch flashed with orange light, and extremely powerful energy was bound within it. The old ghost had a premonition that if it broke out, it would wipe him out in an instant.
"What do you need me to do?" the old ghost asked humbly. He was mocking himself. When he was alive, he experienced the admiration of the residents. After his death, he continued to protect them. Now he still has to salute the nobles as he did when he was alive.
humble.
"No, I want to hear why the world has become like this." Raven said in a low voice, as if a being who had been sleeping for a long time was incompatible with this world.
The old ghost was startled. He adjusted the few memories in his mind, pondered for a moment and then began to speak slowly.
"This world must have started to go bad since then."
I don’t know which year it was, but something terrible fell from the sky, shattered the world’s barriers, and fell into this world.
And from then on, the world began to become bleak, with shadow energy gathering in the dark corners.
With shadow energy, the dead begin to resurrect, and terrifying monsters rise from the ground, bringing fear to the living again.
At that time, people knew nothing about this and had no means to guard against these monsters. They could only rely on human lives to pile up and fill up.
In this world, there are no extraordinary beings, no gods, and no existence beyond the ordinary. Therefore, when encountering horrific undead attacks, people can only fight with flesh and blood.
In this ordinary era where the only lethality was cold weapons, we were attacked by the undead. After the initial turmoil, a terrifying existence came. From a long distance away, half of the city was wiped out with one slap, and they became the undead.
hotbed of.
The unwilling will turned into a ghost, wandering in the ruins of the city, crying, leaving illusory tears.
The immortal body turned into a skeleton, walking inside and outside the city, turning into a bloodthirsty evil spirit.
Almost overnight, several powerful dynasties were destroyed, and those big cities were turned into vicious places where the undead were raging, leaving only a few border towns still hanging on.
"But over the years, the scope of the shadow energy's corrosion has become wider and wider, and the land that can grow crops has become less and less. According to this situation, I am afraid that in a few decades, without the obliteration of other existences, we will all die.
.”
The old ghost told this reality with a touch of sadness.
He does not need to deceive anyone, because no matter what this terrifying undead knight does or does not do, they will perish in this generation, or at most the next generation.
Moreover, before he said it, there were hundreds of people in the town, both men and women, but they had not had a newborn baby in three years.
According to the best plans, they may still be able to persist until the next generation, but the question is, what if there is no next generation?
That means that human beings of their generation will reach the end of destruction in loneliness and loneliness, and step into the final abyss.
Lei Wen listened quietly, listening to the old ghost's words, silent and silent.
Suffering, all living beings suffer.
He was walking in the lower world on the verge of an abyss, so he was prepared to face hell on earth.
He was going to die, he was going to perish. When faced with this problem, the old ghost didn't show much sadness.
Death is not necessarily the end, forgetfulness is.
Through the intermittent narration of the old ghost, Raven had a certain understanding of the world described by the old ghost.
After a short silence, Raven raised his head and whispered something to the old ghost.
In an instant, the old ghost's expression changed dramatically.
——————
From that day on, people in this small town noticed something strange.
Ghosts walk around in the middle of the night, eerily telling stories about the forgotten past.
There was also a terminally ill strong man who regained consciousness and stood up again, but some people said that he once saw a faint yellow light flashing in the strong man's eyes.
Anyway, this town has become very strange.
Far away in the town, in the open-pit mine, a group of powerful undead skeletons seemed to have come and occupied the place.
During the day, a brave man went there to explore, but came back with a pale face. It is said that he found a strange skeleton wrapped in ore in the mine.
To be strange, no skeletons have attacked here during this period, not even one passing by.
Those skeletons abandoned in the wild were easily crushed by someone's foot, which was something that was unimaginable before.
Gradually, people seem to understand that there are new strange things appearing on this land, which are different from ghosts and undead.
Some people also say that he once saw a black-armored knight riding a ferocious black horse riding on flames to slaughter skeletons and smash those skeletons into pieces.
Some people also say that there is not just one knight in black armor, but many, many.
This legend about the black-armored knight, the terrifying existence known as the black knight, is gradually spreading to distant places.
